El placer (1991)

Rod Summers: Narrator

Quotes 

• Narrator : I shall go to some other land, I shall go to some other sea. Another city there must be, better than this. My every effort here is a sentence of condemnation against me, and my heart -like a corpse- lies buried. How long shall my mind remain smothered in this blight? Wherever I turn my eye, wherever I look, I see the black ruins of my life where I spent and spoiled and ruined so many years.

• Narrator : I made a footing in the wall, It was not therefrom to escape, For I had buried one and all, Who loved me in a human shape; And the whole earth would henceforth be A wider prison unto me: No child, no sire, no kin had I, No partner in my misery; I thought of this, and I was glad, For thought of them had made me mad; But I was curious to ascend To my barr'd windows, and to bend Once more, upon the mountains high, The quiet of a loving eye.
